OK! So this project now involves over 60 families all eagerly awaiting concertina books – a format chosen for lending itself to sequential thought Drawing conversations isn’t a new idea, it follows in the footsteps of a game of consequences […]

Sarah and I had our first Glasgow-based meeting on Sunday 4th May. During our previous weekend meet on Islay we identified some experiments with mold making and casting that we wanted to begin in a studio enviroment. We found examples […]

Thoughts on Death I’ve been unhappy for a while with the content that I put into my blog. The problem is, because I tend to work on several ideas at once, I end up just writing about what I’m up […]

‘A little bit of Austria’ (phase I): During my two weeks residency in Austria I spent time on the 1.136m2 piece of land at different times of the day. There is a graveyard to the north, a big field that […]

I am collating the moving image works for the Topography Disarranged screening on 23rd May. Brilliant to have all these discs popping through the letterbox and to see the finished articles at last. My poor old computer is struggling with […]

We have received reply from Arts Council – our Grants for the Arts application is successful and we have been funded for a 12-month Smooth Space Artist’s Residency at Torre Abbey, Torquay plus an associated programme of 12 Artist’s Conversations […]

Hi there, Thank you so much for your interest in the Compass Festival and your recent proposal. The response has been unprecedented with over 160 proposals to consider, so apologies in advance for the bulk email. We have the budget […]

Both Collins&Goto’s and my own creative practice occupy a terrain which can loosely be called Environmental Art or EcoArt, though I would also embrace other terms such as geopoetics, deep-mapping and intimate science. As a framework for our Re:View conversations, […]

Monday 12th May, in studio today working on the largest scale work, and due to the scale 6ftx3ft trying to create a sense of sublimity,serenity, ambience, calm using very soft blue colbalt wash and perinone orange (pink) wash colour remembering […]

I have reworked and developed Trapped Flesh I and II. I felt that Trapped Flesh I in particular needed strengthening and a few more hours work spent on it. I experimented with bees wax to increase the texture of my […]

Not long now until our degree show and assessment and I’m pleased to say I’m feeling on top of everything! Last week we found out what space we would each have for the degree show and thankfully I got the […]

This morning first thing I rang Ipswich Plastics to get a price for Acrylic, but I still was quoted about £500 for the pieces I need so I persuaded William to come with me and see what cheaper products they […]

A few days ago I visited a butchery and took photographs of the meat hanging in there walk in fridge. I did this to gather images to use as reference for colour palate. Meat and flesh is a relationship I […]

Response to visiting Emmerdale butchery, Suffolk. I created some responses based around colour and interaction with the materiality of my paint. This is a video which records and documents how I saw this experiment transforming into congealed flesh and skin. […]

Over the past few weeks I have been really thinking hard about what I am defiantly going to do for my degree show. I have wanted from the begging to use a projector in my work, either a performance piece […]

Putting the paints down for five minutes my attention was drawn to an article in today’s Telegraph. Entitled “Four women on being homeless” it tells of the experiences of four women who found themselves in a homeless situation. The article […]

It’s Not All Black and White. Why monotone? For this project I have moved away from the full colour of my previous painted works and begun to work in monotone. Many of todays major portrait and figurative artists are working […]

On the wall at college is unneutral, which I haven’t added to since last week when I stuck pieces on partially so they stuck out. These bits are superflous and so now I’ve torn them off and thinking now how […]

I have recently been thinking that I would like to make a small photo book to show on the night of the degree show so that the audience can see my previous work so they can connect all my pieces […]

Since I decided I wanted to create my own dressing room in the studio space I thought I need to look at other artists that bring their own personal items into the gallery, so I decided to look at British […]

It all seemed so simple but technology – huh! I have been working on a new sound/video piece for Project-Athens Art Fair with the Harrington Mill Studio group, proposed by Jackie Berridge, thank you. Part of the problem was changing […]
